PYEONGCHANG, South Korea – The Hockey Canada Foundation is looking to extend the legacy of this year’s Canadian women’s and men’s Olympic hockey teams with a unique online auction of game-worn jerseys that will put money back directly into growing the game at the grassroots level across the country.

Beginning Feb. 17 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, hockey and Olympic fans from around the world can bid on game-worn jerseys from every member of Canada’s Women’s Olympic Hockey Team during a five-day, online auction. The 23-player team, announced on Dec. 22, 2017, went undefeated in Olympic preliminary-round action as part of its drive for five consecutive gold medals. Bids will be accepted until the evening of Feb. 22.

The online auction for Canada’s Men’s Olympic Hockey Team begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Feb. 20, and closes on Feb. 25. The 25-player team faces the Czech Republic in its second preliminary-round game tonight at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

“Canada’s Olympians – both past and present – inspire our nation to not only come together to support our athletes, but also to get involved in sport and active, healthy lifestyles,” said Donna Iampieri, executive director of the Hockey Canada Foundation. “We want to help make our women’s and men’s Olympic hockey teams’ legacies live on well beyond the Games themselves. Working with the Canadian Olympic Foundation, we will provide hockey and Olympic fans from around the world an opportunity to bid on a piece of the history from the 2018 Olympic Winter Games – game-worn Olympic hockey jerseys from the 48 players who are representing our nation in PyeongChang.”

Iampieri noted that net proceeds from the jersey auctions will be shared between the Hockey Canada Foundation and Canadian Olympic Foundation.

Up for grabs are the game-worn jerseys of all 48 players who were named to the women’s and men’s Olympic hockey teams, including those of two-time Olympic gold-medallist and women’s team captain Marie-Philip Poulin, and 2011 Stanley Cup champion and men’s team captain Chris Kelly.

Former Hockey Canada president Murray Costello has been appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada, in recognition of his contributions to the development of hockey across the country, particularly to Canada's National Junior Team and Canada's National Women's Team.

The prestigious appointment was announced Sat., June 29 by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.

Established in 1967 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Order of Canada is the centrepiece of the country's honours system and recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation. The Order recognizes people in all sectors of Canadian society. Their contributions are varied, yet they have all enriched the lives of others and made a difference to this country. The Order of Canada’s motto is DESIDERANTES MELIOREM PATRIAM (They desire a better country).

The Officer of the Order of Canada award recognizes a lifetime of achievement and merit of a high degree, especially in service to Canada or to humanity at large.

A former professional hockey player with the NHL's Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings, Costello went back to school and became a lawyer following his on-ice career. He served as president of the Canadian Hockey Association from 1979 through 1998, and was a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame Board of Directors in Toronto for 17 years. He was himself inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006. The South Porcupine, Ont., native went on to serve in a variety of roles with the IIHF, including auditor for eight years, as well as member of the disciplinary committee for another eight years, member of the statutes committee for four years, and chairman of both the medical and junior committees.

CALGARY, Alta. – Edmonton, the City of Champions, will honour Canada’s champions as the Hockey Canada Foundation (HCF) plays host to its annual gala and golf tournament on June 28 and 29.

Hockey Canada announced on Tuesday that Edmonton will be the site of the annual event, which celebrates the on-ice accomplishments of Hockey Canada’s national teams. This year's celebration will focus on Canada’s success at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, where the men’s and women’s teams won gold medals.

“Edmonton is the perfect place to honour our athletes and the successes they have had in 2010,” says Bob Nicholson, president and CEO of Hockey Canada. “We expect the gala and golf tournament to add to Edmonton’s incredible sporting history.” 

The gala, which will include unique silent and live auctions, will be held at Edmonton’s Edmonton Marriott at River Cree Resort in cooperation with the River Cree Resort & Casino on June 28. Members of the 2010 men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams, along with other celebrities, will be in attendance. Pierre McGuire and Gord Miller are the masters of ceremony.

“The evening will be one of celebration,” says Edmonton’s Doug Goss, event chairman. “This is all about recognition, memories and entertainment.”

Blackhawk Golf Course and Edmonton Petroleum Golf and Country Club will play host to the celebrity tournament on June 29. Each foursome will include a celebrity.

The Hockey Canada Foundation works closely with Hockey Canada to raise money to support minor hockey programs. The HCF focuses on five areas of funding: skill development and qualified coaching, accessibility and diversity, health and wellness, athlete and alumni support, and next-generation programming.

The majority of the funds that will be raised at the 2010 gala and golf tournament will go to support an outdoor minor hockey and public skating facility at TELUS Field in Edmonton. This project will be a partnership between the Hockey Canada Foundation, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and the City of Edmonton.

2002 – CANADA 7, BELARUS 1

Steve Yzerman had a goal and two assists, Mario Lemieux added two helpers and seven different Canadians found the back of the net to lead Canada to the Olympic gold medal game with a semifinal win over Belarus.

The Europeans had earned their spot in the final four with a quarter-final victory over Sweden, considered one of the biggest upsets in international hockey history, but there would be no repeat against the Canadians.

“The night before the game, we had a team dinner and talked about (playing for gold),” says Canadian forward Ryan Smyth. “We knew we were lucky to be Olympians, but we were now one game away from getting a chance to bring back a gold medal. Obviously with our history, we knew how exciting that could be.”

Canada jumped out to an early lead when Yzerman scored at 6:05, but Belarus fought back to tie the game seven minutes later, with defenceman Ruslan Salei beating Martin Brodeur.

That would be the last puck to find its way past Brodeur, and the Canadian offence took over from there, starting with Eric Brewer’s game-winning goal at 17:25 of the opening period.

Scott Niedermayer doubled the lead early in the second period and Paul Kariya gave Canada even more breathing room before 40 minutes were complete. With the Canadians dominating Belarus, holding a 32-9 advantage in shots on goal after two, the third period was anti-climactic.

Simon Gagné, Eric Lindros and Jarome Iginla added goals in the final frame to complete the rout.

In all, seven Canadians scored goals, and 13 had at least a point – a total team effort.

“A lot of lines contributed in that game so it helped everyone settle in,” Smyth says. “Guys just seemed to find the right chemistry all through that tournament.”

Other Games

1952 – Canada continued its stifling defence, allowing Sweden just nine shots on goal – the third time in five games the Canadians kept their opponents under 10 – but escape with a narrow 3-2 victory to remain unbeaten.

1960 – Fred Etcher scored 12 seconds apart in the first period, the fastest two Olympic goals ever by a Canadian, and Jack Douglas had a hat trick to help Canada hammer Germany 12-0 in its first medal round game.

1980 – John Devaney scored for Canada, but the three Stastny brothers – Anton, Marion and Peter – combined for 11 points in Czechoslovakia’s 6-1 win in the fifth-place game in Lake Placid.

1988 – Merlin Malinowski and Serge Boisvert scored goals and Sean Burke made 28 saves in Canada’s 2-2 tie with Sweden to close out the preliminary round and leave the Canadians and Swedes tied with Finland atop Group A.

2006 – Alexander Ovechkin and Alexei Kovalev scored third-period goals, and Canada was shut out for the third time in the tournament, falling 2-0 to Russia in the quarter-finals in Torino.

2010 – Canada booked its spot in the women’s Olympic gold medal game for the fourth time in as many tries, getting a goal and an assist from Meghan Agosta, two assists from Jayna Hefford and 11 saves from Shannon Szabados to beat Finland 5-0 in the semifinals.

2018 – Haley Irwin and Marie-Philip Poulin scored in the second period to put Canada ahead after 40 minutes, but the gold medal game in PyeongChang goes all the way to the sixth round of the shootout before the United States secures a 3-2 win, leaving Canada with silver for the first time since 1998.

2002 – CANADA 3, UNITED STATES 2

Canada overcame a partisan crowd and some suspect officiating to defeat the United States 3-2 and capture its first women’s Olympic gold medal, and the country’s first in hockey in 50 years.

The Canadians had lost eight straight to their American rivals, but defender Geraldine Heaney says the team wasn’t worried about the streak. “You learn a lot more from losing, and it’s just how you deal with and learn from your mistakes,” she says. “That helped us prepare for that final game because at the end of the day nobody cares about those other games.”

Canada jumped out to an early lead when Caroline Ouellette fired home a Cherie Piper rebound only 1:45 into the game.

The story then became more about the skaters wearing the whistles than the ones wearing the jerseys. The American referee called eight straight penalties on Canada – “She might as well have worn a U.S. jersey,” says Heaney – but the team surrendered only one power-play goal.

Killing all those penalties – Canada would be called for 13 in the game; the U.S., six – shifted the momentum. “The Americans were starting to lose confidence because they couldn’t capitalize with the extra man,” says Heaney. “It had a snowball effect – we just kept building and getting better.”

Two minutes after the U.S. tied things up in the second, Hayley Wickenheiser pounced on a rebound to restore the team’s one-goal lead.

And as time all but expired on the period, Jayna Hefford corralled a bouncing puck and skated in alone, sneaking the puck by U.S. goaltender Sara DeCosta to put her team up by two with one second left on the clock.

With less than four minutes left in the game, the U.S. would get back to within one, but no closer.

The win capped an amazing career for Heaney, who in November 2013 was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame. “I knew it would be my last game,” she says. “It was the best way I could retire from the National Women’s Team. I had seven world championships, but winning the Olympic gold, that was the one that was missing for me.”

Other Games

1952 – Canada defeated Switzerland 11-2 behind three goals from Frank Sullivan and two goals each from Billy Gibson and David Miller.

1992 – Curt Giles scored four minutes into the third period and Fabian Joseph added an insurance marker with just over two minutes left in the game as Canada beat Czechoslovakia 4-2. Dave Hansen and Dave Archibald had the other two goals in Canada’s semifinal victory.

1994 – Corey Hirsch turned aside 34 shots as Canada won a back-and-forth affair over Sweden, 3-2. Chris Kontos, Todd Hlushko and Petr Nedved had the goals for Canada.

1998 – Finland’s power play goal 17 seconds into the third period proved to be the game-winner as it captured the bronze medal with a 3-2 win over Canada. Canada outshot Finland 35-14, but only Rod Brind’Amour and Brendan Shanahan found the back of the net.

2006 – Brad Richards, Martin St-Louis and Chris Pronger staked Canada to a three-goal lead after one period and Martin Brodeur stole the show the rest of the way as Canada defeated the Czech Republic 3-2. The Czechs outshot the Canadians 33-16.

2010 – With its 5-3 victory, the United States defeated Canada in Olympic play for the first time since 1960. Eric Staal, Dany Heatley and Sidney Crosby scored for Canada, which outshot the U.S. 45-22.

2014 – Jamie Benn scored the lone goal early in the second period and Carey Price posted a 31-save shutout as Canada blanked the United States 1-0 to advance to the gold medal game for the second-consecutive Olympics.

2018 – Maxim Noreau scored the game-winning goal just 55 seconds into the third period, breaking open a scoreless game, and Kevin Poulin and Ben Scrivens shared a 21-save shutout as Canada moved into the semifinals in PyeongChang with a 1-0 win over Finland.

2014 – CANADA 3, UNITED STATES 2 (OT)

It will be remembered, quite simply, as The Comeback.

Down 2-0 to the Americans as the clock ticked away, Canada sat just four minutes from its run of three-consecutive Olympic gold medals coming to an end.

But on the bench, there was no quit.

“We thought, ‘Hey, we’ve been down by a couple of goals, we’ve all been down by a couple of goals, so many times in our hockey careers and it’s difficult, it takes a lot to come back from that, but it’s not impossible,” Brianne Jenner said shortly after the game. “Remembering the experiences we had throughout the year helped us in that situation.”

Jenner got it started with 3:26 to go, taking a pass off the boards from Meaghan Mikkelson and letting go a shot that hit a U.S. defenceman and found its way in to cut the American lead in half.

With just 1:25 remaining, the U.S. hit the now infamous goal post on an empty net, “a sign that we were meant to come back,” captain Caroline Ouellette said, and with 55 seconds left, Marie-Philip Poulin scored to pull Canada even and forcing overtime.

A parade of penalties in the extra period put Canada on the power play, and Poulin got the golden goal for the second Games in a row, setting off a celebration in Sochi, and from coast to coast to coast across the country.

“That’s a game that is going to be tough to beat for a long time, whether as a fan, or as a player,” said Jayna Hefford, who joined Ouellette and Hayley Wickenheiser as four-time Olympic gold medallists. “People all the time are relating it to the 1972 Summit Series, and that’s traditionally male hockey fans … which shows the impact that it had.”

Other Games

1960 – Bobby Rousseau scored four times, Fred Etcher and George Samolenko added three goals each and Canada routed Japan 19-1 to improve to 2-0 and clinch first place in Group A in Squaw Valley, Calif. Etcher finished with seven points in the win.

1980 – Jim Nill, Randy Gregg and Brad Pirie scored goals to give Canada a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but the Soviet Union rebounded to earn a 6-4 victory over the Canadians in the preliminary round finale for both in Lake Placid.

1988 – Serge Boisvert scored two of the Olympic record-setting 10 goals in the first period (Canada led France 7-3 after 20 minutes) and added his hat trick marker in the third as the Canadians scored a wild 9-5 win in Calgary.

1998 – Trevor Linden scored with 63 seconds left to tie the game, but Czech Republic goaltender Dominik Hasek stopped all five Canadians in the shootout to lead to Czechs to a 2-1 semifinal win and send Canada to the bronze medal game in Nagano.

2002 – Joe Sakic scored in the first period, Steve Yzerman got the game-winner in the second and Martin Brodeur stopped 18 shots as Canada advanced to the semifinals with a 2-1 quarter-final victory over Finland.

2006 – Jayna Hefford had a goal and an assist, Hayley Wickenheiser added two helpers and Canada held Sweden to just eight shots on goal to win its second consecutive Olympic gold medal with a 4-1 win in Turin.

2002 – CANADA 7, FINLAND 3

Therese Brisson and Hayley Wickenheiser each scored twice as Canada defeated Finland in the Salt Lake City semifinals.

Brisson opened the scoring six minutes in on the power play, and Wickenheiser built on that momentum two minutes later with a short-handed marker.

The Finns cut the deficit in half with less than a minute to play in the period.

Then things got interesting.

“The second period was probably one of the most frustrating 20 minutes of hockey I’ve ever played,” says Brisson. “We had all the chances in the world and were doing all the right things, but we just couldn’t bury one.”

Canada’s dominance was working against it. With her teammates spending so much time in the offensive zone, goalie Kim St-Pierre was left as a spectator for long stretches at a time. At one point Canada had four straight power plays and still couldn’t find the back of the net. “We really had control the entire game,” says Brisson. “It’s just that second period we weren’t able to bury our chances and the two they had they did.”

During the second intermission the team still felt calm, even though it now trailed 3-2. The same could not be said for everyone in the stands. “We heard later our parents and family were in quite the panic because they didn’t have tickets to the bronze medal game,” laughs Brisson.

The team broke through early in the third, when Wickenheiser notched her second of the game. Six seconds later, Jayna Hefford scored.

Brisson, Vicky Sunohara and Cassie Campbell all scored in the last three minutes to put the game out of reach.

While the closer-than-expected semifinal may have left family a little white-knuckled, it helped prepare the team for its next game against the U.S. “You don’t want to go through a tournament like that with no adversity and then come out and play your biggest rival,” says Brisson. “I think at the end of the day we were glad for it.”

Other Games

1928 – Dave Trottier scored five times and Hugh Plaxton four times as Canada beat host Switzerland 13-0 to win the gold medal in St. Moritz. Goaltenders Jim Sullivan and Stuffy Mueller didn’t allow a goal during the tournament.

1952 – Billy Gibson scored twice to lead Canada to a 4-1 win over Czechoslovakia. Bruce Dickson and Gordie Robertson also scored, while Ralph Hansch made 21 saves in net.

1960 – Canada – represented by the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen – opened the Squaw Valley Games win a 5-2 win over Sweden. Bob Attersley led the way with a goal and three assists and Fred Etcher scored twice and added an assist.

1984 – Canada outshot Sweden 28-22, but the Swedes scored the only two goals of the game to clinch the bronze medal. It was the Canadians’ third straight shutout loss to close out the tournament.

1994 – Paul Kariya scored just over a minute in to the game, but that was the only goal Canada would get as it fell 3-1 to Slovakia, its first loss in Lillehammer.

2006 – Finland scored twice in the first period and withstood continual pressure in its zone the rest of the way to defeat Canada 2-0, handing the Canadians their second shutout loss in a row.

2014 – Shea Weber blasted home a power-play goal with 6:54 remaining to help Canada survive a scare from Latvia and earn a 2-1 quarter-final win. Patrick Sharp also scored for the Canadians, who withstood a Herculean 55-save effort from Latvian goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis.

2018 – After allowing just two goals in three preliminary-round games, Canada continued its suffocating defensive play with a 5-0 semifinal win over the Olympic Athletes from Russia. Jennifer Wakefield scored twice, including the game-winner just 1:50 in, and Shannon Szabados posted a 14-save shutout.

Another Olympic Winter Games is coming to a close in Milan, and another chapter of Team Canada hockey history is being written in Italy.

As part of Black History Month, let’s take a look back at the seven Black athletes who have helped – and are helping – write that history.

DARREN LOWE

1984 – 7GP 2G 2A 4P (4th place)

The trailblazer, Lowe became Canada’s first Black Olympian at the 1984 Games in Sarajevo. The Toronto product scored twice—getting the Canadians even early in the third period of an eventual 4-2 win over Finland and counting the game-winner in an 8-1 win over Austria – and added a pair of assists, putting his name on the scoresheet in each of the first four games (all Canadian wins).

CLAUDE VILGRAIN

1988 – 6GP 0G 0A 0P (4th place)

Born in Haiti and raised in Quebec City, Vilgrain was a Team Canada staple in the mid-1980s, playing 145 games with Canada’s National Men’s Team from 1986-88. That run concluded in Calgary, where he went scoreless in six games in the home-ice Games.

JAROME IGINLA

2002 – 6GP 3G 1A 4P (gold medal)
2006 – 6GP 2G 1A 3P (7th place)
2010 – 7GP 5G 2A 7P (gold medal)

The 2021 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee was front and centre in a pair of games that will forever have a place in Olympic hockey lore. In 2002, the St. Albert, Alberta, native scored twice and added an assist in a 5-2 gold medal game win over the U.S. that ended a 50-year drought for Canada. Eight years later, cries of ‘Iggy! Iggy! Iggy!’ rang in the ears of Canadian fans as Iginla set up Sidney Crosby for the Golden Goal in Vancouver.

P.K. SUBBAN

2014 – 1GP 0G 0A 0P (gold medal)

Has there ever been a better seventh defenceman? As part of a deep Canadian blue-line, Subban – the reigning Norris Trophy winner—got into just a single game in Sochi, playing 11:41 in a 6-0 prelim win over Austria.

SARAH NURSE

2018 – 5GP 1G 0A 1P (silver medal)
2022 – 7GP 5G 13A 18P (gold medal)
2026 – 6GP 0G 2A 2P (medal game to be played)

The first Black woman to wear red and white on the biggest stage in sports, Nurse netted just a single goal in PyeongChang, but it was a beauty in a big game – she wired home the game-winner in a 2-1 preliminary-round victory over the U.S. The Hamilton, Ontario, product broke out in a big way in Beijing, setting an Olympic women’s hockey record for points in a single tournament with 18, earning a place on the all-star team and helping Canada regain its gold medal.

JOSH HO-SANG

2022 – 5GP 0G 3A 3P (6th place)

The Thornhill, Ontario, native played a complementary role in Beijing, averaging just over 11 minutes of ice time—only two Canadian forwards had less—and recording three assists in five games. Two of his helpers came in the prelim finale, a win over host China.

SOPHIE JAQUES

2026 – 6GP 0G 3A 3P (medal game to be played)

The first-time Olympian has been one of Canada’s steadiest defenders in Milan; averaging just over 17 minutes a game, Jaques has earned assists in three-consecutive games and is a team-best +5 while directing 13 shots on goal, third best among Canadian blue-liners.

1992 – CANADA 4, GERMANY 3 (SO)

When Canadian hockey fans think of Olympic hockey shootouts, the first that come to mind are the 1998 semifinal loss to the Czech Republic or the 1994 gold medal defeat at the hands of Peter Forsberg and Sweden.

But two years before the loss in Lillehammer, Canada came out on top in the first shootout in Olympic history, a quarter-final victory over Germany at the 1992 Games in Albertville, France.

“We had practiced penalty shots quite a bit but I never imagined it would ever come to life the way it did,” recalls defenceman Jason Woolley, who scored one of the three Canadian goals in the shootout. “It was a momentum builder for us at the time.”

With the game tied 2-2 after two, Canada looked as if it had taken the lead for good when Kevin Dahl scored with just 6:06 to go, but the Germans answered less than four minutes later, forcing overtime and, eventually, a shootout.

After the first four shooters were unsuccessful, Woolley gave Canada the lead to start off Round 3, wiring a wrist shot over the glove of German netminder Helmut de Raaf.

Just don’t ask Woolley to remember the goal.

“We were so focused on winning at all costs. I don’t remember much other than Dave King calling my name for the shootout. I was real nervous, until I hit the ice. Then I was ready to shine.”

Wally Schreiber and Michael Rumrich traded goals in Round 4, keeping Canada in the lead, but Andreas Brockmann converted the Germans’ last chance in Round 5, forcing a sudden death round.

Canada’s 18-year-old phenom, Eric Lindros, served as the shootout hero, deftly deking to the forehand to beat de Raaf, and veteran netminder Sean Burke got just enough of Peter Draisaitl’s shot, which stopped on the goal line, to send Canada to the semifinals.

Other Games

1928 – Hugh Plaxton scored six goals to help Canada, represented by the University of Toronto Grads, hammer Great Britain 14-0 in the opening game for both in St. Moritz.

1952 – Canada kept its perfect record intact and hit double-digits in goals for the third time in as many games, getting three goals from George Abel and shutout goaltending from Eric Paterson in an 11-0 win over Poland.

1980 – John Devaney, Kevin Primeau, Paul MacLean, Ron Davidson, Warren Anderson and David Hindmarch had goals and Paul Pageau made 13 saves for the shutout as Canada scored twice in each period to blank Japan 6-0.

1988 – Randy Gregg scored for Canada, but three goals in 6:09 late in the first period were enough for Finland to earn a 3-1 win in Calgary, handing the Canadians their lone preliminary round loss.

1998 – Joe Nieuwendyk and Shayne Corson scored in the first 2:13, Wayne Gretzky had a pair of assists and Canada held Kazakhstan to just seven shots over the final 40 minutes of a 4-1 quarter-final win in Nagano, sending the Canadians to the semifinals.

2002 – Mario Lemieux scored twice and Joe Nieuwendyk tied the game with 3:24 to go as Canada wrapped up a 1-1-1 preliminary round in Salt Lake City with a 3-3 tie with the Czech Republic.

2006 – Canada outshot Switzerland 49-16, including 24-1 in the third period, but two goals from Canadian-born Paul DiPietro and spectacular goaltending from Martin Gerber led the Swiss to a 2-0 victory, their first ever over Canada at the Olympics.

2010 – Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist each in regulation time, and Sidney Crosby scored the lone goal in the shootout as Canada earned a 3-2 win over Switzerland.

2018 – Kevin Poulin needed to make just 19 saves for the shutout, and goals from Christian Thomas, Eric O’Dell, Maxim Lapierre and Gilbert Brule gave Canada a 4-0 win over South Korea to close the preliminary round and send the Canadians to the quarterfinals.
